As a teenager, I realise that not a lot of my time is spent towards refining my physical schedule. Doing this can not only help me develop emotionally and physically, but contribute towards a greater cause.

We are all touched by the heartbreak of heart and circulatory diseases. By raising money for us, you're funding research that gets us closer to cures and treatments.

We often see and hear about terrible events all around the world and, if you can’t sit around and do nothing – getting involved in fundraising is a really great way to harness the outpouring of compassion and make a real effort to help.

Money that may be small for you can help a lot of people:

£2 can help researchers we fund to isolate the DNA from a patients blood sample, in the hope of finding faulty genes causing heart and circulatory diseases.

£6 can help to buy test tubes that researchers we fund use to aid their research into inherited heart conditions.

£16 could support one of our early career scientists to conduct one hour of research.

£22 provides an hour of vital support from a Cardiac Nurse to answer patients questions

£25 could help to give a researcher an hour of access to a powerful microscope helping them to see what's going on inside heart and blood vessel cells.

Thank you for supporting me in this journey!!
